A civic administration plans to fill 790 additional posts at two hospitals to address a shortage of doctors and healthcare staff. The decision aims to alleviate the shortage at Cooper Hospital and HBT Trauma Care Hospital.

A special meeting was held to review pending issues concerning Cooper Hospital, attended by health officials, hospital administrators, and a Shiv Sena MP. The meeting discussed the staffing pattern, which had not been revised since 2013, resulting in vacant posts for doctors and essential healthcare workers.

Further details about the decision and its implementation are available from the source, including the discussion at the special meeting and the planned changes to the hospitals' staffing.
